What a trip - Chris Holmes was our next door neighbor in La Canada in the 70's! I remember him, Sandy, Took & Kim. I house sat once and killed their goldfish - I still feel bad about that! Chris modified a ski into a skateboard, wiped out & had water on the knee. He also had hair down to his ass and I had *such* a crush on him! He's only 3 years older than me. Beyond his height, his walk gave him away - he kinda popped with every step. Endless "Smoke on the Water" coming from his garage, guys always coming and going - I *think* I met Eddie Van Halen then? I do remember seeing flyers for Van Halen gigs back then.
Great story and Chris and his wife Sarah are soo cool !! They sent me a copy of Holmes debut solo albim Shittin' Bricks Autographed and also sent a Autographed personalized guitar pick with it and send it to me in Kentucky from Canada :) #MeanMan #wasp #holmes
Damn I wish Riki Rachtman would have been Hosting Headbangers Ball during late 80s, 86-89 Ball with Riki interviewing all these guys during this time would of been phenomenal !! #wasp #headbangersball
